Constitution Dock, Hobart

Constitution Dock is a lovely place to sit quietly and watch the water. At New Year, this is the finish of the annual Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and February sees the Royal Hobart Regatta. It is at such times the waterfront comes alive with visitors, sailors and spectacular sailing vessels. Several fine restaurants are close by while floating stalls cater for those who prefer a more informal feast of traditional fish and chips while watching the boats.
